You are right, it isn't a spot for a European Champs... and there's no eddy service for the moment!!! I don't know what are they doing, but it's not gonna work out.We should do something, however I think it's too late..

hi peter,I'm Gerd's brother , and I think that u're completly right about the ourense spot I think It's the worst venue in spain to celebrate a european championships. The organizers of the championship changed Frieira for Ourense spot because the ourense council said that they would pay more money but really they don't help to organize the championship.Anyway it's going to be a very poor competition. The water level of the wave is kinda difficult to control, so there will be few hours of water. I hope this information will help you towards the competition.good luck!!Aniol
